Cancer as an Embryological Phenomenon and Its Developmental Pathways: A Hypothesis regarding the Contribution of the Noncanonical Wnt Pathway by Jaime Cofre, Kay Saalfeld, Eliana Abdelhay

“…The striking similarities in the processes of cancer and gastrulation have prompted speculation regarding the developmental pathways involved in their regulation. One of the fundamental requirements for the developmental pathways in gastrulation and cancer is the ability to respond to environmental stimuli, and it has been proposed that the Kaiso and noncanonical Wnt pathways participate in the mechanisms regulating these developmental pathways. …”

Akkermansia muciniphila identified as key strain to alleviate gut barrier injury through Wnt signaling pathway by Xin Ma, Meng Li, Yuanyuan Zhang, Tingting Xu, Xinchen Zhou, Mengqi Qian, Zhiren Yang, Xinyan Han

“…Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) and Bacteroides fragilis (B. fragilis) were identified as two strains that may play key roles in FMT. We further investigated the alleviatory effects of these two strains on ETEC infection in the AIMD mice model, which revealed that A. muciniphila and B. fragilis relieved ETEC-induced intestinal inflammation by maintaining the proportion of Treg/Th17 cells and epithelial damage by moderately activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, while the effect of A. muciniphila was better than B. fragilis. …”

Downregulation of TET1 Promotes Glioma Cell Proliferation and Invasion by Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway by Jianwen Ji, Qiuxiang You, Jidong Zhang, Yutao Wang, Jing Cheng, Xiangyun Huang, Yundong Zhang

“…Despite the application of advanced surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the patients with glioma suffer poor treatment effects due to the complex molecular mechanisms of pathological process. In this paper, we conducted the experiments to prove the critical roles TET1 played in glioma and explored the downstream targets of TET1 in order to provide a novel theoretical basis for clinical glioma therapy. …”

Effect of Sodium Sulfate Solution Coupled with Wetting–Drying Cycles on the Properties of Nano-Alumina-Modified Concrete by Kai Gao, Dun Chen, Chunqing Li, Guoyu Li, Yuncheng Mao, Xuyang Wu, Anshuang Su, Hang Zhang, Xu Wang

“…The NA-modified concrete exhibited higher resistance to erosion by the sodium sulfate than ordinary concrete (OPC), the rate of reduction in its tensile strength was low, and the resistance of sample NA1 to penetration by chloride ions decreased only by one-fifth compared with that of OPC. The results of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests showed that erosion had severely damaged the pore characteristics and micromorphology of concrete. …”
